    Any more details? Just found a Numa Organ 2 at a decent price, not clicked buy yet, as I got curious on your experience! 😊 

     

    Don't "need" it, but could definitely use it... 🤣

    I tried the Numa 2 and to my ears Numa 1 had better tone, click, crosstalk and sim.

  2. Years ago I had a Studiologic Numa1 organ. Loved the sound, the keyaction not so much, to stiff. 
    I also had an M-Audio Keystation 61es, with nice keyaction.

    I opened both and the springs looked similar, so I switched them, separating springs for black and white keys.
    Result? Numa1 had much better keyfeel and I sold the M-Audio with stiffer keys.
    Then I got me a KeyB Duo Mk2. Same story, great sound but stiff keys. I opened the KeyB, springs looked the same as in Numa so I got me an M-Audio and switched springs. 
    Result? Much better keyfeel, stiff M-Audio sold.
    I have no Legend, but I guess it has the same Fatar keybed as Numa and KeyB, so a springswitch might work.

  3. I found this in the comments, re. JoeyD's YT-demo of the Soul and if it has Fatar keys:

     

    "Actually, no Viscount makes the hybrid 9 contact system in house and is proprietary. So unless someone re-engineers it, won’t be available anywhere else anytime soon."

    I really liked my Numa 1... though I thought the rotary effect of the Numa 2 was actually better! (But IIRC, the "artifacts" i.e. some or all of the key click/leakage/drive parameters were better on the 1.)

    I tried the Numa2 but like you I liked the "artifacts" of the 1.

    I edit HX3 manually from the front of the organ. Most of what I do just serves to screw it up....so I like Key B because you can't edit it. Elvio at Key B had Joey D as his beta tester and it shows. .I have heard people bitch about the Key B  C / V and I don't get it . One of these days I might see a MAG organ but after I get done trying to edit HX3 it ends up sounding like a NAG organ......

    My Numa Organ1 and my KeyB Duo had the same "engine" and it totally nailed the sound of my old C3/ leslie 145. Hope Elvio can transform that into the Legend Soul.
